A biologist had been working on a remote research project in the Amazon jungle. Upon his return to the States, he came down with a terrible illness. After his health had deteriorated, his wife took him to a doctor who specialized in strange jungle diseases. The doctor gave him a complete examination and a series of tests. After receiving the results of the tests, the doctor called the wife into his office alone. He told the young biologist's wife:
- Your husband is suffering from a very severe disease, combined with horrible stress. If you don't do the following, your husband will surely die.
- Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant, and make sure he is in a good mood. For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him. Don't burden him with chores, and generally do anything he asks.
- Don't discuss your problems with him, as it will only make his stress worse. And most importantly, make love with your husband several times a week and satisfy his every whim.
- If you can do this for the next 10 months or so, I think your husband will regain his health completely. Otherwise.......well...
- He'll probably die
On the way home, the husband asked his wife:
- What did the doctor say?
She replied:
- Honey.....he says you're probably going to die.
